Sourcebooks Summer Reads Round Up Spotlight and GIVEAWAY

Summer is right
around the corner, which means you are probably looking for some
suggested summer reading! Sourcebooks Jabberwocky has you covered
with this children’s books round-up. We’ve got books for all ages
too—from early reader to middle grade. Learn about sharks and
physics, go on an adventure with a dinosaur, run around on the soccer
field, and then move up to the roof for some fresh air. Enter to win
a copy of all eight of the books featured in the post at the bottom.

At 9 years old, Eugenie Clark developed
an unexpected passion for sharks after a visit to the Battery Park
Aquarium in New York City. At the time, sharks were seen as mindless
killing machines, but Eugenie knew better and set out to prove it.
Despite many obstacles in her path, Eugenie was able to study the
creatures she loved so much. From her many discoveries to the
shark-related myths she dispelled, Eugenie's wide scientific
contributions led to the well-earned nickname "Shark Lady."

Josh Sanders wants to be the next great
dinosaur cowboy! Ropin' raptors and ridin' bucking brontosauruses
just like his hero Terrordactyl Bill.

Too bad he's stuck working on his
family's Iguanodon ranch, riding his ancient dino, Plodder. The
closest Josh has ever been to a T-Rex is reading about them in his
Dino Cowboy Handbook.

To prove he has what it takes, Josh is
determined to win the annual Settlement Race. But he's gonna need one
fast dino to stand a chance. With the help of his friends Sam and
Abi, Josh will need to tame a wild Triceratops!

This wildly entertaining new chapter
book series for ages 7 and up features exciting illustrations and
real dino facts! A great way to get kids reading. And don't miss the
next book in the series: How to Rope a Giganotosaurus.

Ever since he was a little boy, Will Dare has been crazy about
T-Rexes and velociraptors. He always wondered what it would be like
to live in a world where they were still alive. Now grown up, he has
put pen to paper and imagined just that world. Will lives in rural
America with his wife and best pal, Charge (a dog, not a
triceratops!).

How exactly to tell Mom I'm moving to the roof

Joyce
is desperate to get out of the room she shares with her older sister.
All she wants is some peace and quiet, not the kind that fills the
space left by her missing brother and tastes like butterscotch gone
sour, the kind where you can breathe deep and see the stars.

So
she moves to the roof. Up there it's nothing but blue sky. Blue sky
and....another roof dweller? Joyce soon discovers she's not the only
one who's been driven to rooftop living. With the help of a pair of
binoculars, a sketch pad, and a pen, Joyce makes an unexpected friend
and sets in motion a summer she'll never forget.

JOYCE MAGNIN has written books for
adults and children. She teaches writing workshops and is a popular
conference speaker who lives in Portland, Oregon. Visit Joyce at

In Rocket Science for Babies
readers learn about the basics of aerospace engineering. General
Relativity for Babies introduces Einstein’s most famous
theory and teaches babies all about black holes, gravitational waves,
and more. Quantum Physics for Babies and

principles that give quantum physics and Newton’s laws of motion
their names.

These first four books in the series
will be released May 2, 2017. Additional releases will be added to
the series July 2017, October 2017, and January 2018.

always have and always will be Soccer Sisters.

But when a new
person joins the Breakers, everything changes. Skylar is a great
player and really cool―but she also doesn't always play by the
rules. Makena, hoping to impress Skylar, starts acting out and
running wild, off and on the field.

But with a huge
tournament looming, Mac's got tough choices ahead. Choices that will
affect her family, her friends, and the game she loves. Can she stay
true to what the Soccer Sisters believe in and win the

big game?
